Here is where i think i have a problem, i let it run for about 15 minutes to warm up it was rather warm here in South Carolina over the weekend. I had to go to my shed and get something so i turned it off. when i returned i cranked it back up and now when it cranks if the tack gets below 1000 rpms the engine shuts off. After a couple of times of doing this not wanting to kill the battery it still does this when cranking and giving it gas it will run but when i take my foot off the pedal it dies. Anybody got any ideas of what could be causing this?? Could it be the alternator??

If you can get the truck to most any auto part store they can test it for you for free. That way you don't have to buy that tool unless you want to. Just get it started, and drive over to a store, keep it running and they should be able to do a load test on the battery and charging system. Its not 100 percent accurate but its pretty good
